Starflash: The harsh winter wind pierced through fur. I remember that from birth, and I do not know why. That day in the winter, my sister and I were born. Not even a season old then, and we shivered. Today marks the start of winter, and the penetrating winds have returned. I do not feel it. And that's how this story begins. Down at the Mess next to my sister. Our father arrives late as peep at him through the corners of our eyes. 17:55 UTC

Starflash: ((Komet "Mornin'." 17:55 UTC

Starflash: ((what the who)) 17:55 UTC

Son of Doom entered for the first time 18:22 UTC

Son of Doom: Greetings. 18:22 UTC

Son of Doom: The old badger sat down at his chair, grumbling under his breath about something or other. 18:23 UTC

Komet: "Hi Starflash, I was thinkin' of pesterin' the ol' windbag to go outside!" 19:30 UTC

⁋𝐈𝐋𝐂𝐑Ö𝐖: ((Not even Eru Herself can save you. Well, maybe She can, I don't know. Never tried to anger Her myself.)) Aug 28

Starflash: ((at first i thought it said Fru Fru rofl XP)) 19:31 UTC

Starflash: "Sure!" 19:32 UTC

Komet: He turns to his father "Father, can we go outside? Maybe out of this mountain~? Please~?! 19:32 UTC

Starflash: "Please???" 19:32 UTC

⁋𝐈𝐋𝐂𝐑Ö𝐖: ((Sunstripe is still all Gary Stu-ish about his children's late mother, so he declines; jk)) "Can't you keep yourselves entertained on the cobbler lawns?" 19:34 UTC

Komet: "No..." 19:35 UTC

Starflash: "No.... it's boring. I want to go outside...." 19:35 UTC

⁋𝐈𝐋𝐂𝐑Ö𝐖: The Badger Lord sighed. "Fine. Ardoc, go with them." he said, calling to a haremaid in a red cloak. 19:36 UTC

Komet: "Ugh... Why does see has to go?" 19:36 UTC

Komet: ((*she)) 19:37 UTC

Starflash: "Yes!!!" she added in a whisper to her brother, "I'm sure we can lose Ardoc..." 19:37 UTC

Komet: ((OMG FAZE RAIN MADE A MCCHICKEN PARODY)) 19:37 UTC

Starflash: she looks at Sunstripe to make sure he didn't hear 19:38 UTC

Komet: ((WHY DID HE ADD LENNY TO IT)) 19:38 UTC

⁋𝐈𝐋𝐂𝐑Ö𝐖: ((Sunstripe finds a striking similarity in this scene and a scene from The Lion King, but shrugs it off)) "Because you need a guide and a guard. You're nobility. High-quality targets to assasination." 19:38 UTC
